I was dumb and was hoping he couldn't win. I want to get a passport. I have an old one I could renew, but it has my dead name and old gender marker. Has anyone renewed their passport after a name change gender marker? Or should I just apply for a new one in person?

Yes, I renewed my US passport when I had my name changed and was able to update my gender marker as well. Nothing special is required for the gender marker, you can just choose which one you want. I recommend not using the X marker since it makes air travel difficult. I did not find it that difficult of a process, just a matter of filling out the forms and providing the required documentation. I suggest providing a copy of your court order for the name change in addition to the official copy you mail in, so they won't keep the original.

You might want to consider updating your dead name and gender once you're in a safer country is my personal recommendation

Feel free to disagree as that's what I would do if I were currently stuck in the US

Either way best of luck I just hope the renewal process happens quickly!✊🌻

I renewed mine last week. It's easier to renew if your old one is not expired. They just need a name change court order, gender marker is part of the renewal. I would get it done before he takes power.
